In the manual page for the uftdi driver, the chip I am using (FT232BL) 
is not listed. According to the FTDI website, it is based on FT8U232AM, 
but  it has extra functionalities. Have you had the chance to test an 
device that uses either a FT232BM, FT232BL or FT232BQ chip? I just 
tested the device on FreeBSD 7.2 and it does not work either...
